Java backend developers who can build secure Spring Boot services and now need to design systems made of many services that must stay correct, fast and observable when parts fail.
Expert level
Java and Enterprise Backend Development
Resilience, Messaging, Observability and Kubernetes
Design, build and operate distributed Java systems: service boundaries and data ownership, resilient synchronous calls, Kafka messaging with outbox and sagas, gateways and token-based security between services, metrics, traces and logs, JVM performance, contract testing and deployment to Kubernetes with CI/CD.

At a glance
The intermediate programme in this track or equivalent: Spring Boot REST APIs, JPA with PostgreSQL, Spring Security with JWT, Testcontainers and Docker. Familiarity with the command line and basic networking (DNS, ports, TLS) is expected. A laptop that can run Docker with several containers is needed for the labs.
Pass the quizzes and labs, then submit a capstone project. The NIBVEDA team reviews it and either accepts it or sends it back with comments you can act on.
What you will be able to do
- 01Decide when microservices are justified and draw service boundaries around business capabilities with data ownership
- 02Make service-to-service calls resilient with timeouts, retries, circuit breakers, bulkheads and idempotency
- 03Build event-driven flows with Kafka, the transactional outbox, idempotent consumers and sagas
- 04Secure services with an API gateway, OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect and propagate identity
- 05Observe systems with metrics, logs and distributed traces, tune the JVM and deploy to Kubernetes through an automated, tested pipeline

What you take away
An internship certificate with your skills on it.
Made for you automatically when you finish the last part, it names the internship programme, the level and the 45 hours, lists what you showed, and carries a number and a QR code. Anyone can check it on the NIBVEDA verification page, and it shows as withdrawn there if it is ever revoked.
- Proof you completed all 45 hours of this internship programme
- An Internship badge for your profile, CV or portfolio
- Not a job, a stipend or an academic degree, and it says so

Quick answers.
The policies have the full detail.
Is this a real internship?
It is a virtual internship programme: a structured, self-paced course built around a real project, with checked assessments and a certificate. It is not employment, it does not carry a stipend and it is not an academic or AICTE-approved qualification. What it gives you is verified, project-based evidence of skills.
How does self-paced work?
You start when you like and move at your own speed. Each part unlocks when you finish the one before it. There are no live classes and no deadlines. Your access is shown on each programme page.
How is my work checked?
Quizzes are marked as soon as you submit them. Labs use a tick-list of tasks. Intermediate and Expert programmes finish with a capstone that the NIBVEDA team reviews and either accepts or sends back with comments.
Can I get a refund?
